  MODFLOW 6 and FloPy

  Script-based numerical modelling with MODFLOW 6. FloPy is a powerful and versatile Python library to create MODFLOW models and process their output. MODFLOW 6 is the latest member of the family of codes, and script-based models created with FloPy and MODFLOW 6 is emerging as a new industry standard.
  
  In this course we will introduce beginners to script-based numerical modelling with MODFLOW 6. It will provide you with a set of ready-to-use Python notebooks with FloPy code that can be adapted for other flow problems.
  
  Learning outcomes
  - Create steady-state and transient MODFLOW 6 models using FloPy;
  - Visualise calculated heads and flow paths; calculate water budgets;
  - Define boundary conditions;
  - Work with river, well and recharge packages;
  - Interface with QGIS.
  - Course outline
  - History of MODFLOW & core versions with terminology & conventions
  - MODFLOW Groundwater flow model (gwf) packages
  - Steady flow/steady state – create a MODFLOW model
  - Well & head packages
  - Output control (checks/plot heads)
  - Water balance
  - Theory of leaky stream bed
  - Pathlines with Modpath
  - Aquitard and second aquifer
  - Transient flow and head vs time | transient simulation
  - Boundary drawdown size
  - Grid types
  - Estimate parameters from pumping test with analysis
  - Working with shapefiles & idomain arrays
  - Plotting heads & layers using MODFLOW
  - Python scripts to show results
  
  Practical exercises are provided during and after each session with follow-up discussion.
